Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Allahabad High Court erred in quashing the order of the Sessions Judge summoning Kapil Dev Singh under Section 319 Cr.P.C. for trial in a murder case. The Court emphasized that the presence of Kapil Dev Singh was corroborated by the first informant's statement, which assigned him a role in the incident. The Court reinstated the Sessions Judge's order, affirming that the evidence presented warranted the summoning of Kapil Dev Singh to face trial under Section 302 IPC.
